Smokin' Hot Green Pepper's 7/9 wk 28

Ok so one pound but hey at least it a pound, wt in at 250. So did no exercise this week so that goal one. more water and checkin in everyday is a goal also
Good luck everyone!!!

I think I saw her! She is getting back on track and motivated. We can do this. Log your food it does help a lot. I go crazy on week ends that is why I am making so many mini goals, like this week end I will check in and I will log my food. I am not trying anymore I am doing. You must have water no way you can gain 11.8 pounds in one week. You would have to eat a lot of food.

Jacque I only lost one pound as well and it is big. It is better than gaining a pound or not loosing anything.



Being honest with yourself is very good. I feel better and able to focus better when I am honest. Ask yourself the questions (I know you are doing this for health too). Do i want my meds to be upped again? Do I want to stay off diabeties meds? Do I want to feel like crap? When I go for extra food or something I know I should not have I made it a habbit to ask my self these questions and believe it or not I dont eat it. Why because to remind me why I am doing this. Find what makes you want this more than anything and keep reminding yourself when being bad.

Sorry this was so long just sharing things that motivate me and its working. Today is a new day. Get right back on.

Love you guys, check back later. :bigsmile:

Hi all..
According to the wii balance board under Julianne's ultimate fitness, I weighed 175.1 last night. This is down from 176.4 earlier in the week. HOWEVER, I'm not pleased.

And sweet Dave... wanted to bring me home something nice -- his idea of nice is a thick homemade chocolate shake from the local ice cream shop. Gotta love him.... partially my fault.. if I had not taken him to this local joint, he would have never known. This joint is the hallmark of town.... been in existence for 50plus years.... everyone who grew up in this town knows White Dot. Perhaps I should stop showing him the highlights of town. Let the "newbie" figure it out on his own!

Take care.

OK :flowerforyou:
Starting the day out right ! I ate a healthy breakfast with veggies and fruit! Made a cup of coffee (THANK THE GOOD LORD) :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: and am planning on taking the kids and hubby hiking today or atleast walking for a while. Hubby is on vacation until the 18th I think and he would watch tv every second of that vacation if I would let him, but that is not gonna happen!I back and Im kicking my big butt!
Got on the scale,it read 195....which means that it is being nice to me...didnt gain or loose...but back to where I was...I dont have far to go, I just want to get down 25 or more pounds...but i just keep messing up. There are changes in eatting habbits in the summer time for me, and most of them are for the better..I crave fruit, water with limes, fresh veggies and so on....but the ice cream, the frys from a carnival, and the beer:drinker: not that I drink a lot..the crap even though it is a little bit it is hurting me... I need to power this body with the good stuff!
A little frusterated here.....but In my heart of hearts I can do this I know I can........been going this far...this has been a three year journey for me why would I throw in the towel when i am this close? I dont really think I am throwing in the towel but you know what I mean.:huh: anyhow here is to a new week of healthy choices and a healthy MIND SET! I can do this!
GOALS:
Veggies and fruits all in my body!
water water water!!!!
atleast 30 mins of GOOD exercise a day!
ENJOY my family and enjoy making them healthy as well!

SHORT TERM GOAL:
5-pounds = a new outfit
10-pounds=new skate outfit
20-pounds=new wheels and berrings for my skates
25-pounds= 3 sets of new clothes!!!!
This is not too hard for me to do!!! I know I can get here!

Miss V - Congrats on Roller Derby girl status. Proud of you!

One day at a time.. my life saying now.... one day at a time. Take the eating one day at a time... take work one day at a time. take the relationships w/my kids one day at a time.

The kids have begun counseling.... next is the custody needs assessment which is scheduled by family court. SO, my custody battles are not over yet.....

We've gained, allow me to rephrase, there's two more mouths for me to feed in the house. I casually mentioned a small bird would be nice. Allow me to stress I casually mentioned - not expecting anything. Well, my fault again for showing hubby another local joint, the Saturday night auction in the next town. I used to go in 6-9th grade w/my Dad for horse stuff, straw/hay. Now, at age 40, I'm back in the auction house just to show Dave & his buddy what was there. I left and they stayed. They came home w/ 2 parakeets for me. 2 young birds -- $14. At two different pet stores, one bird is over $16 so getting two for less than the price of one is a bargain.

SO, yes, two more mouths for me to feed. And another cage. I also have two betta fish bowls and the one dog is "my" protector.

At the auction, I mentioned how cute the rabbits were. Sigh... my fear is that's the next pet (or dinner!)

I should feel lucky -- Dave was eyeballing the young goat and his buddy the pot bellied pig at the auction. The next pet could be a goat for Dave.

So ladies... that was my Saturday night & today --- getting used to the new house members.

barb's house is an animal haven!
Congrats on the new critters!
Had a great day today took the kids on a 2 mile hike and picnic down by the water in the state park, It was overcasty but at the end the sun came out and it was nice.
Came home then skated with the family and a skate friend for an hour or so, then made potatoe salad and went to her house for a bbq. ate a little meat:noway: and 3 chocolate dipped strawberries taht she mad, and two beers...:sick: This might not have been a good idea. But I did have a great time.
Kelly, sorry about the salt intake! It sounds like it was aweful.
Ill check in tomorrow, have a good night girls!

Post more later

Good Morning Pepper's,
Well had my computer issues this week end as well. Took an hour to log on to the sight and my son had his friend over all week end so could not use his. Yesterday was so busy at work I could not log on. so all that hope of logging in all week end did not happen. I will try again this week end.

On a better note. Have been good eating my veggies, fruit and water. still too hot for exercise but sticking to calories. Today is busy too but took a min to check in.

Check back later. :bigsmile:

Good Morning all,
So did so much better yesterday was only over calories by 117. So happy that I am being more focus, I also slept like 10 hours, havent done that in a long while. Felt good. So goal today
Eat in calorie range
walk after work, maybe swim
drink water
go to sleep early

Well ladies Piney & Angel seem to be adjusting to their new home. Piney (male) is a yellow/green. Angel (female) is white. My dog is very jealous when I talk to the birds. He pulls out a toy and brings the toy to me. The parakeets chrip... not a lot...not very loud. I'm sure as they continue to get used to us...they will become noisier....

Ok, Hubby is sweet, good man, I love him. But when he brings home 6 cream donuts from Wawa......I kinda wonder where his mind is.... that was last night. I ate 1 and he ate the rest. However, I didn't need the one. I know he's not intentionally "ruining" my good intentions.

I did do the Julian Micheals Ultimate 2009. There are some exercises I do better with the wii board; some without the wii board.

Well, played tennis for a little today which was good hadn't played in a long time! Then went to derby practice tongiht and just came home to eat a late dinner....food in the house isnt veggies or fruit anymore....need to wait tillpayday to get them..;( BUMMER! but I am super tired! fell hard at practice tonight on my hip so I am hurting good night peppers!

Good Morning Pepper's,
MissV hope :flowerforyou: hope your hip feels better and payday comes quick.

Barb sometimes even though they are trying to be nice they dont think, my dh does things like that all the time and I am now saying sorry I cant have that today. It is so hard but I wont eat it. A couple of weeks I would have gobbled it down but I really want this and the only way is to cut out the goodies. Sometimes I do cave.

Kelly you are doing so well, you are motivating me with all the exercise you are doing.

Jacque, Barb is right sleep is important. Glad you got some in. I am in bed by 9PM every night and up at 5AM every morning except the dog lets me sleep until 6AM on week ends :laugh:

Hope all Peppers are doing well.

Eating my veggies and fruits, need to drink lots of water today my sodium was horrible yesterday and need to flush it out.

Check back later :bigsmile:

Afternoon Pepper's,
Already got 5 glasses of water down, feeling bloated so I am drinking lots more. I am so glad everyone is motivated. :drinker: I love seeing all the progress and wow everyone is exercising I really miss my walks. Will be starting shred again this week end. maybe I will try to get it in the morning. It is hard to do it at 5AM and my guys take all my attension the couple of hours after work before bed. Not sure how I am going to get my exercise during the week in. :grumble:

I will figure it out. check back later :bigsmile:
